﻿On Friday, October 17, I will be teaching a lesson called Power Portraits inspired by the incredible, larger than life paintings by Kehinde Wiley, an artist who places people of ethnic background into traditional portraiture settings. I'm glad to have this opportunity to share with other teachers and I look forward to their feedback! I hope to post some photographs from the presentation, if I can manage to get some! Below you will find a great article that has helped me understand what my lesson is really about.

Thanks to everyone that helped me develop and prepare for this lesson!

My name is Abby Sweet. I grew up in Stockett, Montana and I have lived in Missoula, Montana for over 10 years.

As I approach the end of my 20's, the end of my first college degree, and several personal endings..I find myself at many new beginnings. I am optimistic about my future, if somewhat fearful. But I've learned that it hurts to grow. And change is not easy.

Teaching is a big part of my future and I'm excited. I'm excited to inspire and promote change in others, but most importantly, to encourage growth and and compassion through the arts and appreciation of our natural world.
